Even once it hits the IP, it’s got to provide the host header to map to the appropriate web site.

I also wouldn't do the routing as a function of the MVC app. Use IIS Rewrite module and just make it part of the config (you can put the rules in your web.config so they deploy with your app). IIS Rewrite module is amazeballs.

Then the other domain name is just to catch people who went to that one instead and route all your traffic to the main one. If you have just two domain names then I can understand the questionmark over how to use both. If you imagine adding a bunch more domain names (you might have some alternate names to help catch more traffic) and route them all to the main domain then it makes more sense. If you had 10 domain names you wouldn't want an SSL for every one of them. Redirect is the way to go, IMHO.

For SSL on Azure websites, thoughts on whether we should do two certs, or just do that on one of them and then do some sort of redirect for the other one?
